The scientific method is not exclusively limited to but generally limited to repeat experimentation / observation.
If the THEORY of evolution was a merited as those who buy into believe, it would have been the LAW of evolution a long time ago. Evolutionists will state for the record it's not even a good theory.

In science, a law is a rule describing how something works, while a theory is a framework explaining something. In other words, laws and theories are completely different things.
Nice way to show you have absolutely no idea how science works. I can't say I'm that familiar with science either, but at least I know basic stuff like this.
A scientific law is just a short rule. A scientific theory is so much more complex. They are not "ticks" on a scale, but end-goals on different scales.
Evolutionists might say that, whatever those are.
A scientific theory doesn't graduate into a law. A scientific law is something which can be observed to never change. Like, for instance, the only law I'm intimately familiar with, Ohm's law. Voltage in volts divided by resistance in Ohms will always give you the current in Amps, every single time. A theory is a much broader explanation of something, and there are vast variations within that theory. Plus the theory can be changed as new evidence is found.
I'm not a scientist and I know this. What's your excuse?
"The scientific method is not exclusively limited to but generally limited to repeat experimentation / observation."
In other words, "not limited". Is this sentence really the best thing you can come up with as an argument against evolution? Really? And since the "observation" of the evidence can be repeated again and again by many different scientists, it doesn't really provide ANY argument. Indeed, paleontologists often go around the world to visit each other's museums to examine more fossil evidence first-hand.
Now go look up the scientific meanings of "theory" and "law". And since there isn't really such a thing as a made-up-name "evolutionist", and since you've never actually spoken to any scientist in the field, your last sentence is just a feeble lie.
Clearly someone who doesn't understand the definitions of "theory" and "law" in a scientific context.
A "law" is simply a description of an observed phenomenon often in mathematical terms. A theory is the study of some aspect of the natural world and includes laws. For instance, the Law of Gravity is a part of the Theory of Gravity.
A LAW, in science, is a limited interaction of matter and energy in a way that we can predict.
We cannot predict evolution. We can’t predict mutations and we can’t ptedict which ones will be sufficiently beneficient to be retained in the gene pool. There are life forms on Earth older than dinosaurs. They hit a beneficial arrangement and stuck with it. Others have changed fairly recently.
